Beaudesert Park opened its doors to former pupils, staff, parents and Governors on Saturday 17th May for our Alumni Founder's Day Tea.
Founder's Day was historically celebrated on the 13th May; the birthday of our founder, Harry Richardson, and incidentally, Marking Day for the cattle on the Common.
On Saturday, guests enjoyed an afternoon tea and a chance to wander through the school and grounds, reminiscing on memories from years gone by. There was also a selection of photos from our archive on display, many of which were mystery photos, with no names or locations. Our guests had great fun identifying faces, events and classrooms from years gone by.
We heard great stories too, of boys only able to wear trousers when they reached a certain height, and what happened to the stag heads which used to sit above the fireplace in the hallway. Another mystery solved!
It was a wonderful day for all involved. We look forward to welcoming alumni back for more events soon.
